Invader • Glow in the Dark IK15, by Petrusino on Sept 18, 2013 15:45:02 GMT 1, My 2 cents on this release:
According to the latest releases:
Dolk, in the same day, Ed of 250 at £300; + Ed of 250 at £350 = £162*500
Eine , Ed of 300 at £395 = £118*500
Invader, Ed of 200 at £630 = £126*000
Seems that invader is not the most avid and not even the most stupid 
market rules

while it is expensive I'm sure it will look awesome

Slim profits for flippers I think

These will look really really good though and even though they are only a bit bigger than other kits its a fair point as you can pay a fair few quid more for an extra cm2 on an original!
There are defo others with more (smaller) tiles though.
Resigned to missing the boat now and hoping to catch a panicky flipper with burnt fingers =]

Invader • Glow in the Dark IK15, by Deleted on Sept 18, 2013 17:11:32 GMT 1, I just don't trust so many of these releases. Especially when they say "sold out", or "only __ (insert low number) left", etc...For instance, this Invader, it supposedly sold out in the first 10 seconds (if you are to believe the sale site. But, I just was able to cart one a second before typing this. I know people cart stuff and then don't buy. But, there's no way that is responsible for all of the b.s. we go through when trying to buy from these types of releases.
Obviously, the harder they make something to get, and more elusive the illusion is, the more people will want to buy the item. Creating that artificial competition, the thought that you are getting something so many other people are trying to get, and finally making a person think "wow, i just won!" after they've clicked refresh a 100 times and a piece magically appears, plays serious tricks on a potential buyers brain. I know it has for me. I've found myself buying pieces I would have never bought had I stepped away and thought about it for a second.
Sorry for the long winded bit of b.s. on your post, but I just needed to vent. I was hoping this piece was going to be in line with some of the other invader kits, small prints, etc...I mean, an ed. of 200, a piece that's not designed at all to be displayed, an awkward signature location, etc, etc...you don't think it is going to be around 1000 USD when all is said and done. That's crazy money.
I love Invader, and have a lot of his work. But, I don't like him raising the release price like this, and creating this artificial buzz. Its not like he is that much more in demand to warrant such a large price hike. I guess I just don't like getting so obviously screwed. And this whole thing left me feeling more screwed than usual, and that's saying something. That's why I didn't pull the trigger. I will probably regret it though when I don't have this piece to add to the Invasion collection I have going.
